Clemson vs. Boston College Prediction

I’m on Clemson here. It feels like a big number to lay with a road team, but Clemson’s proven that they’re up to the task pretty much across the board, winning five straight on the road by double-digits and 6 of their last 7 with a pair of wins by 15+ points against teams far better than what they’re up against here. I view Boston College as potentially the worst team in the ACC this season, which says a lot considering what a down year it is for this conference, and I think Clemson wants to further strengthen their NCAA tournament resume by picking up another road win with some style points here. Give me Clemson laying the big number.
